AMG Black Series spied
Mercedes‑AMG has been filmed testing an ultra‑extreme Black Series that looks like a road‑legal GT3 homologation special — spy footage shows aggressive side exhausts, massive air vents and track‑ready aero. The prototype is being developed as the basis for Mercedes’ next‑gen GT3 racer and an official reveal is expected soon. (motor1.com) (motortime.es)
